Face down in the gutter, won't admit defeat though his clothes are soiled and black, he's a big strong man with a child's mind, don't you take his booze away... (hey!) He's been at it for years drinkin balls and beers, he's a hero to most he meets (hey hey hey!) but inside he cries black swolen eyes, this man he sheds no tears. Now his wife and kids sing a different tune as they worry bout their daddy dyin (hey hey hey!) but this arrogant fool breaks every rule it'll be nothin but pride that kills him [chorus] Can he listen no he wont, that's all she wrote, he'll be dead before the daylight shines, but the thoughts and prayers of a million strong might keep this fool from dying. (x2) [chorus] He's a legend in the bar with every scar, fights a thousand bigger men (hey hey hey) now he fights and loses got all the bruises will someone please step in? Cause this Irish fools got a great big heart, he keeps climbing back into the ring (hey hey hey), in the low down circles where he holds his court, this man he once was king... [chorus] This one still goes out to the Boston Punks and Skins, a rowdy bunch indeed... varies from CDs He's a legend in the bar with every scar, fights a thousand bigger men (hey hey hey) now he fights and loses got all the bruises will someone please step in? Cause this Irish fools got a great big heart, he keeps climbing back into the ring (hey hey hey), in the low down circles where he holds his court, this man he once was king... [chorus
